Three Main Ways Small Businesses Use Databases

  1. Process management (transactional database) e.g. multi-step order fulfillment

  2. A place to store important info (information store / data warehouse) e.g. customer contact info and order history

  3. Actionable reporting (analytical databases) e.g. key performance indicators over time

Sometimes these three are done in three (or more) separate databases, but Inonde recommend’s one system that runs everything.
